Impact of sample frame on survey response rates in repeat-contact mail surveys
Neher C and Neher KS. 2018. Impact of sample frame on survey response rates in repeat-contact mail surveys. Park Science. 34(1):43-46
From December 2015 to January 2016, researchers from the University of Montana in Missoula conducted mail surveys of six different sample populations nearly simultaneously. The result is a unique opportunity to compare the characteristics of the populations being sampled so as to draw conclusions about the importance of various factors in determining response rates. The researchers found that age, issue familiarity, sampling targeted populations, and the uniqueness of the experience being studied all have an impact on the rate of response.
